EasiHorse Adventure

A few weeks ago, I searched the internet for cool things to do with kids. Isaac loves animals, so I was specifically looking for something he could do with animals. I came across a horse farm not far from the house that does horseback riding lessons for kids of all ages. I contacted the farm owner about Isaac, and today we made our adventure over to the EasiHorse farm. We kept it a surprise for him all day, so when we pulled up to the barns he was so excited just to see the horses. Little did he know what was to come!

Mr. Dave spent an hour with Isaac (Brian, Lucas and I) teaching him how to take care of, ride and enjoy a horse. Isaac had a great time!

Here he is leading his horse out to ride…



And giving her a thank you hug before he got down.

Even Lucas got to sit on the horse!

After finishing with the horses, Mr. Dave let Isaac feed some of his other animals. Isaac really like the llama.

The turkeys weren’t quite as friendly, but the were cool too.

Finally, here’s a video showing a little piece of all of Isaac’s activities on the farm today.

I wasn’t sure how things would go today. With a two year old, at least my two year old, you always take the chance that when you get to your activity they’re going to latch on to your leg and refuse to do anything. Today, with the animals and Mr. Dave that was not the case. Isaac acted like an old pro and just jumped right in. I think we would have stayed all night had we let him! We got in the truck to come home and Isaac told us unprompted “I had a good time. That was a fun adventure!” Watching him have fun made for a wonderful day!
